Test, says Hugo, blephants are

What are a delegate's "best efforts"?
Since Kefauver received better than 70 per cent of
he democrats' votes in the May primary, he ought to
eserve actually the delegation s best efforts, regard-
ss of the individual delegates' personal preferences.
Perhaps tho degree of effort amounts to a matter of
nnscienre, since there is no ruling to act as a yardstick of
best efforts. The signed pledge demands that there
ye little leeway in exercising that conscience. The delega
tion would appear pledged to go down the line for Kefatl-
er until ensuing roll-call votes at the convention make it
ppear that the man in the coon-skin cap hasn't a chance
or the Democrats' choice for president.
Since there appears to be no cuUand-driod rule on how
lany ballots the delegates must stick to the state's choice
f candidate, then the delegates are going to have to rely
n their conscience.
